    The Five Cravings of Your Soul—And Why Only God Can Fully Satisfy Them

    Let me know what you think of this episode? Most people chase fulfillment in worldly success, money, or status—and still feel empty inside. What if the deepest cravings of your soul point to a divine purpose you’ve been overlooking? Cory Rosenke, a pastor, author, and thought leader, reveals how understanding your eternal design can radically transform your daily life—and finally satisfy the longing you’ve been trying to fill with fleeting pleasures. In this powerful conversation, Cory dives into the core cravings embedded in every human—security, identity, independence, significance, and innocence—and explains how they are meant to draw us back to our Creator. You’ll discover how these five cravings shape everything from your relationships to your pursuit of happiness—and why worldly pursuits only deepen the emptiness. Cory shares captivating stories of his journey from poverty and searching to a life rooted in faith, philosophy, and deep reflection on eternity, heaven, and hell. We break down the five core cravings that define your purpose, revealing surprising insights from Scripture, philosophy, and real-world examples. Learn how the world’s obsession with possessions, control, and superficial identity leaves us starving. Discover why true fulfillment is found not in the things of this earth but in reconnecting with our divine origin—hidden in the profound truth that you are an eternal soul loved unconditionally by God. Cory offers practical guidance: how to live with an eternal perspective today, strengthening your hope amid hardships, and resisting the serpent’s lie that says you can find fulfillment outside of relationship with God. This episode is essential listening if you feel that ache beneath success, if you’re tired of chasing after fleeting pleasures, or if you’re searching for lasting peace and purpose. Cory’s insights will change how you see yourself—and the world—showing you how to live more fully rooted in the truth that you are more than your body and mind. Instead, you are a soul created for eternity, designed to walk in divine love and fulfillment. Whether you’re a believer seeking deeper purpose, a skeptic questioning the meaning of life, or anyone tired of superficial answers, this conversation sparks hope and invites you to a higher understanding of what it truly means to be human. Dive in and discover the divine blueprint written into your soul—and how it can lead you to lasting joy and peace.

    "Separation of Church and State: A Historical Perspective"

    Let me know what you think of this episode? Most Americans misunderstand the true meaning of the separation of church and state. In this eye-opening episode, filmmaker Andrew Linn uncovers the surprising history behind one of the most misunderstood principles in our Constitution—and how it was meant to protect, not abolish, religion. Andrew takes us back to the 17th century, revealing how Roger Williams, a radical Puritan and the founder of Rhode Island, pioneered the first formal separation of church and state in the American colonies. His belief that government should never control religious beliefs is not only foundational to American freedom but a vital shield for genuine faith today. As we mark the 250th anniversary of American independence, Andrew challenges common misconceptions—explaining that separation was never meant to eliminate religion from public life, but to safeguard it from government overreach. You'll discover: the biblical grounding for religious liberty, the origins of laws influenced by Christian morals, and why America’s founders embraced religious freedom—not as an attack on faith, but as its ultimate protection. We break down how misunderstood concepts like “freedom from religion” versus “freedom of religion” shape political debates, and why rejecting this distinction threatens our liberties. We explore the ongoing rise of Christian nationalism, the cultural decay that fuels it, and how history shows that true faith flourishes best in free societies—not theocracies. Plus, hear insights from historians, legal experts, and believers on how to foster respectful, informed dialogue on divisive issues—something more crucial than ever in today’s polarized climate. Whether you're a history buff, a Christian seeking understanding, or a patriot committed to Liberty, this episode will reshape your view of religious freedom in America. Andrew Linn’s documentary, “Church and State,” is a call to remember the true purpose of this constitutional principle and to defend it with wisdom and love. Tune in to understand why the separation of church and state is less about banishing religion and more about protecting the faith that built this nation—and why protecting that faith ensures the liberty we cherish. Perfect for anyone eager to understand the roots of American freedom and how to defend it today.

    From Addiction And Codependency To Healing Through Identity In Christ

    Let me know what you think of this episode? A lot of people can look “fine” in church while their home life is falling apart. We sit down with Steve Rotermund, author and founder of Walk Right Ministries, to talk honestly about addiction, codependency, trauma, and the long road from shame to healing. Steve shares the surprising way he met his future wife, then opens up about childhood abandonment, abuse, and how those early wounds quietly shaped his relationships and view of God.  As his first marriage was consumed by prescription drug addiction, Steve describes what many spouses of addicts feel but rarely say out loud: the exhausting need to fix, manage, rescue, and control. A Christian counselor stops him cold with one sentence, “You’re part of the problem,” and it becomes the beginning of codependency recovery. We break down what codependency really looks like, why “being the savior” keeps families stuck, and how boundaries and responsibility can become an act of love rather than rejection.  The heart of the conversation is identity in Christ, not as a slogan, but as a lived reality that replaces “I’m not good enough” with sonship, security, and transformation. Steve explains how forgiving himself changed everything, why Christianity is more than weekly attendance, and how healing impacts parenting and generational patterns. We also talk about his book, God’s Imperfect Plan Is Perfect, and the online Walk Right Community built to support spouses and partners navigating addiction, fear, and hard decisions.  If you’re looking for Christian counseling insights, faith-based addiction recovery support, and practical help for codependency and trauma healing, this one is for you.

    Worship As A Lifestyle with Brigitte Donoho

    Let me know what you think of this episode? Worship can sound loud on a stage and still be quiet in a kitchen sink full of dishes. We talk with Brigitte Donoho, a worship leader, homeschool mom, and recording artist, about the moment worship stops being only lyrics and becomes a lifestyle shaped by gratitude, character, and everyday choices. Her story is rooted in real life: raising two boys, juggling family schedules with ministry travel, and learning the hard wisdom of boundaries. We get honest about what it takes to steward a calling when you’re tempted to say yes to everything, and why “faithful stewardship” sometimes looks like a bold no. If you’re a worship leader, a Christian songwriter, or just someone trying to keep your heart soft in a heavy season, you’ll hear practical language you can actually use. We also go deep on songwriting that tells the truth. Brigitte shares how hardship and grief have shaped her music, including walking through her son’s early speech disorder and the loss of her father, which led to songs on her “Carry You” EP. We explore how to write honestly about pain without losing hope, why scripture is a well of lyrics, and why Christian music can be diverse, from worship to rock to folk, without abandoning a consecrated life.

    Stop Beating Yourself Up God Already Did It

    Let me know what you think of this episode? Identity talk is everywhere, but most of it still leaves people anxious, exhausted, and unsure of who they really are. We sit down with author Tom Anderson to get underneath the slogans and into the deeper question: what if identity is your default system, the background story running your life when nobody is watching? Tom shares a grace-filled approach to Christian identity rooted in sonship, not self-effort. We unpack the three soul needs every person carries: to be valued and loved, to be significant, and to feel safe. From Jude’s language of being loved, called, and kept, we explore what it looks like to let God’s view of you become more real than your inner critic, your past, or your performance. Along the way, Tom explains “kinship to sonship” and why the doing-driven version of faith can quietly burn people out. We also dig into big gospel themes with practical weight: Adam’s story and the four relationships that rupture in the fall, why “It is finished” means far more than forgiveness alone, and how confession can become a doorway into truth instead of a loop of shame. If you care about spiritual formation, grace, redemption, and healing your sense of self before God, this conversation gives language and next steps you can actually live.

    A Former Attorney Tests Christianity With Evidence

    Let me know what you think of this episode? What happens when you stop treating the Bible as an inherited object and start treating it like evidence? Matthew Mcwhorter, a former attorney, joins us to walk through the most practical version of the biblical canon question we have heard: which Bible are we actually talking about when we say “the Bible,” and would a neutral judge trust the witnesses behind it? Matthew tells the story of starting as a skeptic who simply wanted to read the books he was named after, then discovering the sheer scale of the Protestant vs Catholic vs Orthodox Bible divide. From there, he builds a case-centered approach to canon formation that connects apologetics to the Deuterocanonical books (often called the Apocrypha) instead of keeping those debates in separate boxes. We dig into why figures like Irenaeus matter, how early church fathers are used in arguments about both the Old Testament and the New Testament, and why consistency matters if you want Christianity to be provable rather than just preferable. We also talk about Jewish scholarship on when the Jewish Bible (Tanakh) became fixed, how New Testament allusions can point back to disputed texts, and why reading multiple Bible translations can clarify meaning rather than create confusion. Matthew shares one of his most surprising finds involving Two Maccabees, the Talmud, and a martyrdom story that shows how messy the historical record can be when people argue from selective sources. If you care about historical Christianity, Bible canon, early church history, or the question of what counts as reliable evidence, this conversation gives you a clear framework and real sources to chase down.

From growing up on a working farm in rural Illinois, where hard work and responsibility were instilled from an early age, Jay went on to serve in the Marines in covert operations, only to face a series of near-death experiences that would have broken most people. Jay opens up about dying during his Marine Corps service, surviving a near-fatal car accident, and breaking his neck in four places after a swimming pool accident that left him paralyzed from the shoulders down — all before the age of 42. With over 73 surgeries and counting, Jay shares how faith, stubbornness, and an unrelenting will to keep moving forward have carried him through decades of physical pain and recovery. He also discusses his book The Strength Within You, his mission through Never Quit Trying, and his current work in battlefield immersion training to help save soldiers’ and first responders’ lives. Throughout the conversation, Jay reflects on prayer, purpose, and why he believes it’s always too soon to quit. A deeply inspiring conversation about resilience, faith, and finding the strength that lies within.
